Perching on the edge of his chair, Sabel chanced leaning a little closer. "Alexa..." He scrambled for something to say. Not serious. Alexa didn't like serious. So, out came the first non-serious thing he could think of. "I could see if you can fit in my suitcase."
He was leaving...just like that...gone...to teach...Hogwarts...Sabel.
It didn't make sense while making all the sense in the world. Sabel liked children...he actually tolerated them and that said a lot.....but he was
leaving her, just like Lottie was leaving her and like Cassia was leaving her too. Why did everyone have to leave at the same time? The young woman completely deflated in her seat, appearing smaller somehow. It was like her first year when everyone decided to graduate and leave her behind--granted the years had made her blame them LESS after spending so long in the castle herself but that was besides the point; he was
leaving and suddenly she wasn't so sure what she'd do with her free time in MLE. He wouldn't be a few feet away at his own desk for her to bother and he wouldn't help her with reports anymore.
Lex was legitimately at a loss for words...until that last bit. Somehow she managed to laugh, it wasn't a proper one but it was a start.
"Hah. No thanks. I just escaped that prison, I have no intentions of going back, least of all inside a trunk." She had waited long and hard for her freedom thank you.
She thought to get up after that, to find a corridor and patrol it rigorously but realized it would never work. Like all the other times she would need to put on a brave face about the whole thing.
"Congratulations then...I guess. Give the Whomping Willow my regards, we're best mates you know." Just as light as he had been. She could do this
except not really and she wanted to go home and hug Lottie before SHE was proper gone too and today completely sucked now.
